Tomorrow Will Be Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest

Well, work will anyway. Since P already let the cat out of the bag, I guess it won’t hurt too much if I say this out loud too — we’re taking tomorrow off from work & trouncing around parts of town as yet undetermined. He wants cupcakes for lunch dessert. Other potential things we’ve discussed besides the myriad of restaurants we don’t know that exist are going to Carkeek, going to the bee garden at the arboretum (BEES!), and various & sundry other things. And all this without children!

I joked at work that around mid-afternoon they’ll get a sad email from me saying, “help me! i’m wilting!” We’ll see.

This evening when I got home, the little girls got into their swim suits & have been playing in the sprinkler ever since. While they were over at the next door neighbor’s seeing if their friend could play too, I sat on our steps & dead-headed the flowers and watched a few lonely honey bees try to get the remaining August pollen out of the last of the clover flowers that haven’t dried to a crisp. Poor little honey bees!

Time to go assist with dinner-y things maybe. Although it’s all on the grill, so I don’t know that I’ll be allowed to touch anything because that’s how it rolls in our house.
